get up stand up, make a difference
|
one shout is louder than a thousand whispers
|
each breath brings death closer
|
what breath u got left, make the most of
|
till your life is over
|
sieze the time, life don't pause that record
|
no rewind, one time to hear that section
|
hear opinions, but you've gotta rule in your kingdom
|
make choices that cause you to realise your vision
|
you don't show it, but you can do it, blood i know it
|
don't flow it but we still both thug poets
|
raised by momma, nuff cut offs, gas and electrics
|
certain birthdays I ain't get shit, but it's cool mums
|
forget it, your love, the only reason that i ain't sleep
|
only reason at these pricks I ain't poppin' off clips
|
got family and friends that i'd lay down and die for
|
forces in my head, but in my heart i'm still for the life force
|
|
get up woah stand up
|
stand up and make a change
|
get up oh stand up now
|
get up and make a change woah
|
|
however you hurtin', situation worsens by lack of earners
|
system only workin' for certain persons
|
a man 'll get caught tryna keep the rent up
|
but a paedophile 'll spend less time bent up
|
next time you pick up blood, think of the consequences
|
someone's daughter or son cracked out on park benches
|
can't do it i know, can't afford to have a soul
|
'cause if you thinkin' you slippin' and not on ya toes
|
genocide turned suicide, it's not coincidental
|
no chains, but it's worse when the shackles are mental,
|
scared to shine, don't share, breed like rabbits,
|
feed abuse of habits, and the situations get drastic
|
kick in more, sure that it's soon to be you
|
we enterin, it's hard to be strong
|
when the lifestyles so temptin', fat pockets
|
getting money, grabbin hoes away
|
but if we don't change today our kids grow the same way
|
|
get up oh stand up
|
stand up get up and fight
|
get up oh stand up now
|
don't just survive and live your life
|
|
however hard shit gets, try and maintain focus
|
'cause god always side with the most hate and the brokest
|
i know theres a god 'cause all the times i should of died
|
impossible circumstance, somehow i survived
|
plus theres the fact that the universe is designed
|
blood circulates, light reach earth in the same time
|
stars and cells born at rates you can't count
|
body earth water solids exactly the same amount
|
Our everything, it's so insignificant
|
earth not even cell sized compared to total existence
|
eighteen years ago, i weren't even visible
|
now i spit lyrical syllables for spiritual criminals
|
nothin' worse than potential that remained hidden
|
don't look back could of, would of, should of, to late i didn't
|
while most of us struggle to strive for what we believe in
|
imagine the strength of those who died for what they believe in
|
|
get up, oh stand up
|
stand up and make a change
|
get up oh stand up now
|
get up and make a change woah
|
get up oh stand up now
|
don't just survive
|
live your life, live your life
|
